70mm EDF's

Aug 12th, 2013, 12:30 PM

Hello! Figured I'd post in here and make a request. The 70mm EDF's you currently carry are a bit big, as in wingspan. Which usually call for 5s. Some smaller 70mm sized EDF's around 800-900mm in wingspan would be nice to see where 4s is plentiful and also some that have retracts. (seems like you have plenty of belly landers & fixed gear).

A 70mm EDF that uses 4s and has retracts would be something I dont believe you carry. Particularly a F-22 or F-35. I was really hoping that you were going to get the Freewing F-35 with your next shipment, but looks like just the F-16 came in that size. The F-16 is nice, but I'd prefer retracts.

The Freewing F-35 uses mechanical retracts. We will not carry any plane with mechanical servo operated retracts. Unfortunately, these retracts blow apart with one bad landing.

That said, there is no reason the F-35 cannot be improved with better retracts and a few updates. This is what we need to see before we will carry the F-35. We may just be talking to Freewing about this. hint hint.

Any update with the Freewing 70mm F-35???

Would love to see some pics and specs like the other new Freewing jets that have been added to the site. Thanks
